Full stack developer for international project

Remote, Hybrid
Praha
Full-time

For our portal NejŘemeslníci.cz, an online marketplace for craft and construction work, we’re looking for a mid-level/senior colleague with full-stack perspective to work on a project with international ambitions — we’re actively expanding into new markets, and you can be there from the very beginning.

🗓 This is a project-based role for approx. 1 year, with a real potential for long-term cooperation even after the project ends.

Join us and you will:

collaborate with our designers, product people, and other developers — you’ll be able to play with building new pages and redesigning older ones, across all layers from the database and models all the way to e.g. CSS styles
find out that we’re pretty good at Ruby on Rails, which our product runs on; we like to share our experience in writing (https://dev.to/borama/ and https://dev.to/janmpeterka/) and we’ll teach you too
refresh or learn really well the principles of REST APIs, and learn how to build them
directly contribute to expansion into foreign markets — localization, internationalization, new integrations, and everything that comes with it
apply your sense for clean, tested code and for architecture and development security (and we can teach you in practice if needed)
develop the One-Person Framework mindset (https://bramjetten.dev/articles/the-one-person-framework-in-practice), i.e. the ability to gradually become an expert in any part of the product
optionally come to the office in central Prague at least 2× per week, but otherwise our dev team works largely remote and partly asynchronously
work in 5-week development “cycles” based on the Shape Up methodology (https://basecamp.com/shapeup), either independently or in a micro-team
learn through code reviews how to develop better — and you’ll find that your feedback on others’ code is welcome too
write automated tests and keep them in check with the help of a CI server
deploy to production several times a day, and thanks to our traffic you’ll get real feedback quickly
be part of a small group of friendly, skilled people who will infect you with a genuine drive to successfully grow the product
hopefully be glad you’re working on a larger, meaningful, fairly run project that is appreciated by customers and companies

You’ll be a good fit if:

you like what you read above :)
you’re comfortable with Git, REST principles, and object-oriented development
you can work with any back-end framework (https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/frameworks-for-backend-development/) built in Ruby, Python, PHP, etc.
you have experience with a non-trivial project (ours isn’t huge, but it’s not small either)
you actively communicate in English — spoken and written — because expansion to foreign markets requires daily work in English (documentation, communication, code)
you want to develop on a MacBook M4 Pro
you have a feel for language (and therefore naming), and you are systematic and keep code clear and well-structured

Why join

Flexible working hours — handle personal errands when needed and make up the work later.
Hybrid setup — some days can be remote. Our office is near Wenceslas Square in Prague (we will be moving).
Employment or contractor model — cooperation is possible both as an employee and as a contractor (IČO).
Real-world impact — we help people make their homes better, while addressing the long-term shortage of skilled trades.
Strong product — around 150k monthly visitors and 50k users per year.
Top-rated service — customer-first approach and 4.9/5 on Google and Firmy.cz (no paid reviews).

Don’t hesitate to reach out — we’ll tell you more!
